Italian digital commerce expansion

Overview

The Italian retail landscape is experiencing a structural shift driven by the expansion of digital commerce. E-commerce sales have reached 178 billion euros, split between 105 billion euros in B2B and B2G segments and 73 billion euros in B2C.

The digital value chain has generated 993 billion euros in total value, contributing approximately 13% of Italy’s GDP. This sector employs 2.2 million people, representing about 9% of the national workforce, and produces 69 billion euros in tax revenue.

As B2C e-commerce penetration exceeds 13% of total consumption, traditional retail models, including local neighborhood shops and large-scale distributors, face increasing challenges. Consumers primarily cite convenience and lower prices as the main drivers for the shift toward online shopping.
